| Abstract | Management of bus fleet maintenance requires systematic recordkeeping, management reporting, and work scheduling procedures. Tools for controlling and monitoring routine maintenance activities are in common use. These include defect and fluid consumption reports, work order systems, historical maintenance records, and performance and cost summaries. While these tools are necessary, they are not sufficient for effective maintenance management. Current management methods should be supplemented by strategic planning tools to improve maintenance performance and to control costs. The techniques having the greatest potential for improving cost effectiveness are work methods analysis and standard job time and cost analysis. Failure history analysis and workload and budget forecasting procedures are also expected to improve strategic planning capabilities. These methods logically lead to the development of maintenance policy testing applications. Most of the data required to implement these methods are captured in current reporting processes, but special attention to maintaining accurate and accessible historical records is essential for use of these methods. This report is divided into the following sections: introduction, background, current methods, new techniques, summary and conclusions, references, and appendixes. Thirty-seven exhibits and 25 references are provided. The three appendices offer references to related reports and papers, examples of shop and garage reports, and several vehicle replacement decision making models. (Author/DCS) |
